Ready....Made

i have been subscribing to this magazine for about two years now and still can't wait for it to come in the mail. as i was waiting for my flight to Bejing, China, i heard Ready Made was calling my name from a self in the Vancouver, Canada airport. Its been love ever since. Its a type of DIY mag, but not the cheesey country-home-full-of-frumpy-quilts-and-hearts kind, but the awesome-impress-your-friends-and maybe-even-yourself kind. not only are there stellar projects there are articles about artists, entrepreneurs, new funky shops, and progressors (made that one up) of our culture. first reading this magazine i was living in northern california and a great majority of the people and events they were talking about were stemming from the artist heartbeat of Los Angeles. so, where do i find myself a year later? yep, L to the A. God, i love it. Fresh Pressed, a local DIY silk screen shop, had a whole spread in the feb/mar issue. several college friends started a home-brewing beer, so an artist friend and i collaborated and created this shirt for them. my point being, you should check this stuff out and you don't have to live in LA either. enjoy and create!
